Palestinian Authority security forces have captured the vandals, according to the IDF; Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz delivers “a strong message” to the P.A.

(April 10, 2022 / JNS) Palestinian vandals broke into Joseph’s Tomb in Nablus/Shechem on Saturday night, setting fire to parts of the site and smashing parts of the tomb structure, Israeli media reported on Sunday.

The attackers also reportedly damaged a large chandelier at the site, shattered a water tank and broke an electrical cabinet, according to Israel Hayom.

Responding to the incident, Israel Defense Forces Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Ran Kochav told Army Radio that the vandals had been captured by Palestinian Authority security forces. “There was a march by 100 Palestinians from Nablus to Joseph’s Tomb, and they rioted and set fire to the tomb,” said Kochav.

Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz called the vandalism at the tomb “a grave event and a serious violation of freedom of worship in one of the holiest places for every Jew. It violates the feelings of the entire Jewish nation, especially when it occurs during the Muslim holy month.”

The defense minister vowed that “the State of Israel will take action to ensure that the site will be refurbished and quickly returned to its original condition. In addition, we will take all the measures necessary to prevent such incidents.”

Which Joseph tomb is this? Israel’s son? Ruben’s little brother? Or is this St Joseph, the foster father of the child Jesus? Or another Joseph?

Do you really think that the grave of a Catholic saint would be “one of the holiest places for every Jew?” It is obviously THE Joseph, son of Jacob/Israel, who became 2nd in command of Egypt after saving it from a massive famine...and whose bones were carried out of Egypt by the Jews as they left Egypt.
